Detailed analysis of the characteristics and features of the knife
Blade steel — X12MF:
This knife is made of high-carbon tool steel X12MF, which is famous for its outstanding hardness (61-62 HRC) and excellent wear resistance. Due to its high chromium content, steel exhibits good anticorrosive properties, although it requires basic care to prevent stains during prolonged contact with moisture.
Handle material — birch bark:
The birch bark handle is not only a tribute to handmade traditions and northern aesthetics, but also a practical solution: the material is light in weight, pleasant to the touch, non—slip even in a wet palm and perfectly dampens the impact when cutting. Birch bark ensures a secure hold of the knife in all weather conditions, including frost and rain.
Blade geometry and dimensions:
A normal—shaped blade with a length of 145 mm, a thickness of 3.2 mm and a width of 25 mm is versatile - it perfectly copes with most household, hiking and hiking tasks. This geometry of the blade is optimal for precise cutting, planing, cutting food and small household chores. The length and balance of the knife are ideal for long-term use without fatigue.
Leather sheath:
The classic genuine leather scabbard emphasizes the handmade status and provides reliable protection for the blade during transportation.
Service features:
The X12MF steel holds the sharpening well — it will rarely be necessary to sharpen the knife. However, it is recommended to use high-quality abrasives to maintain excellent cutting edges. The care of the birch bark handle is simple: it is enough to occasionally wipe the surface with oil to protect it from drying out and contamination.
Optimal tasks and applications
This knife is ideal for hiking, hunting, fishing, camping and daily chores in nature. Its versatile shape and high strength make it possible to confidently use the product for planing wood, slicing food, butchering fish and meat, and camp work.
Thanks to its non—slip, warm handle and reliable blade, the knife performs well in harsh weather conditions - it is an indispensable companion for outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, as well as fans of the traditional Russian knife school.
